I had an appointment in Cadillac, Michigan about 20 miles South of my farm. I hit up three of the several thrift stores that are there. I have always loved to thrift shop, far more than economy I enjoy the treasure hunt. I love the radio stations they play in those places too, always either Classic Rock or Christian music - the perfect soundtrack for the hunt!
Cadillac is a little bit trashy
Stop #1 was at the Second Chance Oasis Resale Shop. Vintage quilt block embroidery transfers of all of the state birds, a storage jar with fruit motif and a wooden lid, and a package of kelly green No 10 envelopes - these items totaled about $3
Goodwill Cadillac had a classic children's book that has great old photographs of New York City and a 'discarded' stamp from the Interlochen Library inside, a perfect glass bowl and a little Pennsylvania Dutch motif canister, that will be used as a pencil holder/ Grand total $4.18
Last stop was the Salvation Army, where I found a trio of books I felt were waiting just for me. The Apartment Book is an interior decorating book copyright 1979; The Doubleday Book of Interior Decorating from 1965, and The Quilts of the British Isles from 1989. $1 each, details below
The Apartment Book is an amazing book of 1970s apartments and decorating. It includes some interiors of celebrities homes (Ali McGraw and Richard Dreyfuss, for example) and is bright and happy and super inspirational
I love quilts and the British Quilts book has beautiful photographs of British quilts and their history
And finally the Doubleday Decorating book has page after page of early 60s home decor
LOVE!
